Hexagram Meaning

䷟

The Oracle Speaks

Thunder and wind — they strengthen each other endlessly. Endurance. Success through unwavering consistency. Not rigid permanence but organic continuity that adapts while maintaining identity. The long-running service that never crashes: it succeeds because it was built for duration, not speed. Marriage, institutions, habits — all require this quality.

The Six Lines — Changing Line Oracles

When a line is “changing” (old yin or old yang), its oracle activates. These texts reveal the specific mutation occurring at that position in the hexagram.

Line 1 (Yin — broken) — Bottom

Seeking endurance too hastily brings persistent misfortune. Nothing that would further. Premature optimization is the root of all evil.

Line 2 (Yang — solid)

Remorse disappears. The regrettable state resolves through patient continuation.

Line 3 (Yang — solid)

He who does not give duration to his character meets with disgrace. Persistent shame. Inconsistency in your approach breeds contempt.

Line 4 (Yang — solid)

No game in the field. The hunt yields nothing — you're looking in the wrong place. Change your search parameters.

Line 5 (Yin — broken)

Giving duration to one's character through perseverance. Good fortune for a woman. Bad for a man. Yin-style persistence: receptive endurance rather than forceful pushing.

Line 6 (Yin — broken) — Top

Restlessness as an enduring condition. Misfortune. Perpetual instability — the service that never settles into steady state.
